Aluminum Alloy 357

  • The aluminum 357 alloy with the T6 temper meets all the requirements for ultimate strength (50 vs 50 ksi), yield strength (40 vs 40 ksi ) and elongation (5% vs 5%).

  • In addition, the alloy meets the castability, corrosion resistance, machinability, and weldability requirements.

The 357 alloy is the best choice.
